Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sample, n = 12

Mean, x = (158.2 + 162.8 + 161.5 + 161.2 + 166.5 + 160.1 + 158.4 + 175.6 + 159.9 + 168.8 + 161.9 + 163.7)/12 = 163.22

Variance, s² = (summation(x - mean)²/n

Summation(x - mean)² = (158.2 - 163.22)^2 + (162.8 - 163.22)^2 + (161.5 - 163.22)^2 + (161.2 - 163.22)^2+ (166.5 - 163.22)^2 + (160.1 - 163.22)^2 + (158.4 - 163.22)^2 + (175.6 - 163.22)^2 + (159.9 - 163.22)^2 + (168.8 - 163.22)^2 + (161.9 - 163.22)^2 + (163.7 - 163.22)^2 = 273.5368

Variance, s² = 273.5368/12 = 22.79

This is a test for a single variance. We would set up the test hypothesis.

For the null hypothesis,

H0: σ² ≥ 25

For the alternative hypothesis,

H1: σ² < 25

The formula for determining the test statistic,x² is

x² = (n - 1)s²/σ²

Where n - 1 is the degree of freedom, df.

df = 12 - 1 = 11

x² = (11 × 22.79)/25 = 10.0276

For a test of 90% reliability, Confidence level = 0.9

Cl = 1 - alpha(level of significance)

alpha = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

The critical value from the chi-square distribution table is 17.28. Since 17.28 > 10.0276, we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the filling machine does not need repair because the variance of the process is not more than 25 oz.

Consider that x=5 and y=7. Is the sum of x + y rational, irrational, or neither irrational nor rational!

nasty-shy [4]

The sum of y+x, or 5+7, is rational. This is because each integer(non fraction/decimal)is rational, it is also rational.

Vending machines can be adjusted to reject coins above and below certain weights. The weights of legal U.S. quarters have a norm

tigry1 [53]

Answer: The percentage of legal quarters will be rejected by the vending machine = 2.275%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weights of legal U.S. quarters have a normal distribution with a mean of 5.67 grams and a standard deviation of 0.07 gram.

Let x be the weights of legal U.S. quarters .

Required probability: $P(x5.81)$

$=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\dfrac{5.81-5.67}{0.07})\\\\=P(z2)\approx0.02275 \ \ \ [By\ P-value\ calculator]$

The percentage of legal quarters will be rejected by the vending machine = 2.275%

Can someone please help me on number 16-ABC

melomori [17]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

-2x < 10

-6 < -2x

<u>Part a) Is x = 0 a solution to both inequalities</u>

FOR -2x < 10

substituting x = 0 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(0) < 10

0 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 0 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 0 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR -6 < -2x

substituting x = 0 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(0)

-6 < 0

TRUE!

Thus, x = 0 satisfies the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 0 is the solution to the inequality -6 < -2x

Conclusion:

x = 0 is a solution to both inequalites.

<u>Part b) Is x = 4 a solution to both inequalities</u>

FOR -2x < 10

substituting x = 4 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(4) < 10

-12 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 4 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 4 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR -6 < -2x

substituting x = 4 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(4)

-6 < -8

FALSE!

Thus, x = 4 does not satisfiy the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 4 is the NOT a solution to the inequality -6 < -2x.

Conclusion:

x = 4 is NOT a solution to both inequalites.

Part c) Find another value of x that is a solution to both inequalities.

<u>solving -2x < 10</u>

$-2x\:$

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverses the inequality)

$\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)>10\left(-1\right)$

Simplify

$2x>-10$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{-10}{2}$

$x>-5$

$-2x-5\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$

<u>solving -6 < -2x</u>

-6 < -2x

switch sides

$-2x>-6$

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverses the inequality)

$\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)$

Simplify

$2x$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}$

$x$

$-6$

Thus, the two intervals:

$\left(-\infty \:,\:3\right)$

$\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)$

The intersection of these two intervals would be the solution to both inequalities.

$\left(-\infty \:,\:3\right)$ and $\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)$

As x = 1 is included in both intervals.

so x = 1 would be another solution common to both inequalities.

<h3>SUBSTITUTING x = 1</h3>

FOR -2x < 10

substituting x = 1 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(1) < 10

-3 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 1 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR -6 < -2x

substituting x = 1 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(1)

-6 < -2

TRUE!

Thus, x = 1 satisfies the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the inequality -6 < -2x.

Conclusion:

x = 1 is a solution common to both inequalites.
